Who votes for radical right parties and why? This book argues that
the increasing popularity of the radical right in Europe originates
in community bonds: strong ties to one's locality motivate support
for the radical right. These parties use nostalgic themes and
symbolic politicking to idealize community, defend local autonomy,
and ultimately draw local identity into the electoral realm. While
other explanations of the radical right's popularity typify
supporters as victims of macro-economic shifts and strains, the
author's account explores people's day-to-day experiences that link
local connections to political decisions. The analysis also raises
questions about the political implications of different formal
authority structures such as the level and nature of power devolved
to local units. The localist model of radical right support
illuminates the psychological, social, and institutional conditions
and processes that render people's feelings about their cities,
towns, and villages relevant for politics.
